Ah. That would explain why it wouldn't even try to boot. Thanks very much for that info. I will continue my attempts to install 10.10 on this laptop but so far I have tried a few times and have not had any further luck getting past the Apple logo or a very quick flash of verbose code that I...

Hi - Does anyone know if the Lenovo g50-80 can install Mavericks 10.9.5 with majority functionality? I know that in other hackintoshes their networking, sound, or sleep doesn't fully work. I would prefer not to install 10.10 because my ProTools software has visual glitches and the overall...

Hi everyone, I have a Lenovo g50-80: Intel Core i7 5500U (2.40GHz) 16GB Memory 1TB HDD Intel HD Graphics 5500 @ 1366 x 768 Was wondering if this unit can be Hackintoshed successfully and used natively? I saw tutorials for the g50-*70* but I don't think it's the same kind of unit (if...

I actually don't have a preference as to which bootloader I do or don't use. Clover seems like a geek's paradise (or nightmare depending on how you look at it). The odd bit for me is that iMessage WAS working fine on 10.8.5 (under Clover I think?) but with all the updates and reboots and...

Thank you but I already have the FileNVRAM.dylib in the /Extra/modules folder .. it just doesn't seem to do anything. I thought it was supposed to create a .plist file on first (re)boot? I've rebooted at least four times already and still nothing. Permissions repair came back "OK"...

Hi all, OK. So I am totally lost and could use some major help. Whatever files you need from either of my two installs, I'd be happy to send your way. A few questions, followed by the TL;DR. Bottom line is my 10.9.2 Clover Mavericks install logs in to iMessage fine, and I'd like to...

I have scoured the site for a while recently, gotten fairly far, figured out that the best FrameBuffer for my 5450 is supposedly Eulemur but I am able to run the ~6450~ on Pithecia .. Does that mean I can only run one or the other FrameBuffer or can I have two AMD FrameBuffers running...

I think it's safe to Bump? :-)

Hi all, Posted another thread here about having two video cards in my Hackintosh, both of them ATI. I was wondering if it would be a better idea, to avoid framebuffer conflicts and port configuration oddness, to instead have one ATI and one NVidia in the system. And which should be in the...

Hi all, Happy Hackintosh'er here under 10.8.4. (Well, sleep doesn't work but, it's a 24x7 edit machine so, it's not the end of the world) [TL;DR -- What 10.9 kexts do I need to investigate / modify / download to get a Radeon 6450 1gig and 5450-512meg card both working together with full...

Just a quick bump .. No one has any thoughts? Hrmm ... ='(

Hi all - Having a great time with the forums and learned quite a bit since my first Core2Duo running 10.6. Now I'm on a Gigabyte Z68ap-d3 running 10.8.2 and it works dreamy thanks to the brilliant minds here at Tonymacx86.com ... TL;DR -- Is there a Kext or other solution you recommend to...

WiFi-only Hackintosh here as well - the only app I'm having an issue with is iMessage though: iCloud & App Store log-in fine .. I don't know if that's some other trouble or not ..

I too am having the same issue using a Kingston DataTraveler G3 - gets pretty far in the boot sequence [using F12 to select USB-HDD] then stops at "Waiting for root device." no matter what flags I try (-f, -x, -s, PCIRootUID=0/1, GraphicsEnabler=Yes/No) Or is this not the same issue? :wtf:

Re: New Optimized AppleHDA for Realtek ALC 889 on Lion Bit of a "slow" question -- will this Kext also work on 10.6.8? Or is that a totally different install etc? I am a partial noob at all this, I have a working Core2Duo install thanks to your prowess, but unfortunately I have been fighting...
